CasioW800HG Series | Men’s Digital Watch | 100 Meter Water Resistance | Multi Function Alarm | 100 SEC Stopwatch | Auto Calendar | Countdown Timer | LED Light | Dual Time| 10 Year Battery

The buttons on this watch are very easy and satisfying to push. I also like that the watch is water proof and that you dont have to hold the button down to keep the back light on.I really like that it shows the full date.That being said, I am returning this for the database version as the screen is slightly larger (but I will give up the waterproof rating).

Been using this watch a long time, they mostly last 10 years or until the face is so scratched I can’t read the time. Have a spare in the drawer at all times. Have changed the battery a few times, never as good as the original. Never take it off, swim, hot springs, surf, weld, mechanic, pound posts, hot, cold, wet, dry. Good lite. Probably put me in the fire with one of these on my wrist.

Nice size for working, easy to see but not so big it gets caught on everything. Buttons all work as well as water proofing. I work in a manufacturing plant and it takes a beating but holds up well. Have not had to adjust time after first setup.

After 4 years of everyday use, the straps finally broke😔 but the time is still ticking 🥳. I plan to buy replacement straps. This is a great watch, very tactical and really is water resistant!😍. The only con is the watch beeps every hour on the hour😒. if this feature becomes optional, it will be the perfect watch🤩!

Bought this 2 years and 8 months ago and it's still great. In that time, it's drifted 27 seconds (e.g. at 8:00:00 it now reads 8:00:27). **EDIT** This drift is inaccurate. Updated at bottom of review **END EDIT**. For me, that's not a big deal, but figured I'd mention it. I wear the watch face-side down on my wrist, but it only accrued one mild scratch in all that time. Nothing terrible. I bought this watch because it had 3 things; the 24-hour time, the day of the week, and the date on a single screen. It's the only watch I've found that had all 3 of those. To find all 3 in a highly rated and CHEAP watch? I bought it in a second and haven't regretted it since. I actually returned a better and more expensive watch (Casio DW5600E-1V) before eventually finding and loving this. I especially love that it orders the date in Year-Month-Day format. I live in the US where Month-Day-Year is the norm, but I also work with thousands of computer files where the best way to organize files by date is with a Year-Month-Day system (e.g. 221102 for November 2, 2022). It's just a little nothing thing, but I love this watch for it.I should note that the watch band snapped off back in August, 2 years and 5 months after getting the watch. That's happened with other watches with resin bands that I've owned, always around the 2-3 year mark. I heard it's from sweat or showers hardening the resin or something. That could make sense as I never take mine off except when I'm rock climbing. Regardless, I just grabbed a cheap 18mm silicone watch strap for 12.99 and it's been fine ever since (bought silicone because I heard they don't snap. I'll update this if it ever does).I plan to use this watch forever. If it breaks, I'll buy a new one for the price of a burger + onion rings. I've gone through a dozen watches over the past 25 years or so, but this is the first one that I loved. It has everything I want without a bunch of other useless expensive crap that I'll never use (looking at you, altimeter; and that's coming from a hiker). It's cheap, reliable (anecdotally), has a fast band replacement process, no feature-bloat, has large text, and is DECENTLY water resistant. The only downside is that the watch isn't 200m water resistant. If it was, it'd be perfect for me. Anyway, I don't go surfing/swimming with it, but it hasn't fogged up after 2+ years of showers, rain, sweat, etc. If you want a cheap watch, I recommend this one (unless you're an avid surfer). Or if you're like me and willing to fork over $100 for a watch, maybe buy this anyway. It's certainly much better than the $21 price-tag would have you believe.**EDIT** 12/12/23I made the above review over a year ago, but I realized that I couldn't verify that the 27 seconds of drift was accurate. Well, I decided to run a little experiment over the past year and record the drift every few months (basically whenever I remembered I was even doing this) and it turns out that the drift WASN'T accurate. After a year, my watch drifted 58 seconds. To get that 27 second value, I might have reset my watch whenever we had daylight saving time or something, hence the inaccurate drift. Anyway, I included the recorded values below (MM/DD/YY format) in case someone is interested. Also, I used time.gov for the baseline comparison.12/11/22 9:55PM - 0 seconds fast01/19/23 6:18PM - 5 seconds fast02/22/23 12:48PM - 10.5 seconds fast04/15/23 9:00PM - 18.5 seconds fast05/08/23 8:22PM - 22 seconds fast06/27/23 12:52PM - 30 seconds fast09/06/23 8:15PM - 41 seconds fast11/05/23 7:18PM - 51 seconds fast12/11/23 9:55PM - 58 seconds fastThis basically means my watch drifts by a little more than 1 second every week (1sec/~6.29days). For my needs, that's fine. I'm not doing anything in my daily life that requires long-term precision to the second, and I have to reset it every so often anyway for the aforementioned daylight saving time, so I don't mind at all. Other than that, the watch still works great (nearing 4 years now) and the "new" silicone watchband is still great too (although it hasn't hit that 2-3 year breakdown point yet). So, all in all, still happy with it.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I needed something for a reasonable price, did not want a Apple WatchWearability:Great you can even swim with it (I've done it a couple of times)Looks:Sleek and lowkeyReadability:EasyWeight:lightSize:compactBrightness:great

Had this watch for 3 months so far and it still looks pretty good. I wear it to work and it takes quite a bit of abuse banging into things and only has a few light scratches. Pretty comfortable as well.

THIS DOES HAVE A STOPWATCH FEATURE.Anyways, I love this watch. I’m very particular about how big the face is and looking bulky. This simple yet sleek watch is exactly what I was looking for.
